Water is tremendously important, without it, we wouldn't be here. Many of us have nearly an endless supply of water available but we don't drink as much as we should and we would love to change that and challenge people to drink more!

Many of us have no idea what it's like to truly be thirsty, what it's like to not have clean running water. We have plenty of water to drink -- even the water in our toilets is clean!

But many people around the world don’t have that luxury. Every day, about 1,400 children die from diseases caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation. But it doesn’t have to be that way. There are simple solutions like drilled wells, spring protections and BioSand filters that help provide clean water to communities around the world.

I started this fundraising campaign to help charity: water build these types of projects around the world, and I'm looking for anyone who can help me.

Anything you can give is a huge help.

100% of the money will be used to build clean water projects, and when they’re complete, charity: water will send us photos and GPS coordinates so we can see the exact community we helped.

While you're helping others we would challenge you to help yourself, join us with the #WaterMeChallenge and start drinking more water for your own health!
